Joanna Cooke, the Soul ‘n’ Blues driven singer songwriter will be with us at The Bootlegger Exeter!

 

Motown legend Martha Reeves summed it up perfectly, describing Joanna Cooke as “the baby girl singing the blues”. Joanna demonstrates that true soul and emotional connection is not simply constrained by colour or creed. Moreover, her self-penned songs leave a lasting impression on audiences, by dint of their raw honesty and song craft.

Growing up listening to records by greats such as Howling Wolf and Robert Johnson became the soundtrack to Joanna’s upbringing. Joanna had a restless desire for music. She taught herself piano on a keyboard she found in a skip and was soon writing songs that brought people to tears.

Fast forward a few years and this self-sufficiency, drive and talent now sees Joanna performing with big name artists, supporting the likes of Rag N Bone Man and Paloma Faith, and playing her own shows at both Festivals and not venues.
